The McClung Museum is a general museum with collections in anthropology, archaeology, decorative arts, local history, and natural history. The exhibits document ways of life, cultural trends, and technologies from prehistoric times to the present day, and showcase much of Tennessee's past -- its geology, history, art, and culture. The McClung Museum is a special place -- a place of discovery, a place to learn about the world around us.

As a part of the University of Tennessee, the Museum supports and participates in the University's mission to serve the state, region, and nation through scholarship, teaching, artistic creation, professional practice, and public service.

The professionalism and high caliber of the Museum are reflected in its accreditation by the American Association of Museums. In fact, the McClung Museum is one of only 12 museums in Tennessee to be so recognized.

I invite you to visit the Museum and to enjoy the many experiences we offer. As Lewis, a 4th grader, wrote to us: "It is the best museum in the world."

Ancient Bronzes of the Asian Grasslands is a traveling collection of steppe art from the collection of the Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, curated by Trudy Kawami, Ph.D.   The exhibit has on display works illustrating the decorations and equipment of the ancient steppe dwellers.  The steppes are the Eurasian grasslands extending from northern China to Eastern Europe.  The inhabitants of this area were nomadic herders and horse riders who produced remarkable art themed around the animal life that surrounded them.  The pieces on display include bronze belt buckles, weapons, clothing adornments, tools and horse gear, all richly ornamented and complex.
